Caused by: org.apache.hadoop.ipc.RemoteException(java.io.FileNotFoundException): File does not exist: /hbase/data/default/TRAFODION.JAVABENCH.OE_STOCK_5000/1e3bc2ee89bff840fcaaced16dbf826d/traf.txn.out1473204624891

This happens if during the preclose phase the regionObserver finds there are no active transactions. When this happens it doesn't write the traf_txn.out information to hdfs. Consequently, when the new daughter region starts, it can't find the information and throws the exception. THis can affect the proper starting of a region and inheriting things line the onlineEpoch
